Tickets

Graduates who are approved to walk in May and have indicated they will attend the Ceremony on their graduation applications can expect to receive an email issuing their ticket and four guest tickets in late January or early February. 

This message will come from the campus-based ticket service, Purple Pass, sent to your Norwich student email address or to a personal email address on file with the university (if applicable). 

The email will include your graduate ticket and four guest tickets attached as a PDF. If you have submitted your graduation application and indicated you are undecided or not participating, and decide you will participate, please email registrar@norwich.edu. If eligible, you will be added to the list of ticket recipients, and you should receive tickets within two weeks of your email. 

For final event counts and program purposes, you must change your participation to yes no later than March 27, 2026.

Tickets may be printed or saved electronically for distribution to guests. Students can return unused tickets or request additional tickets by emailing commencement@norwich.edu. A final count will be conducted in early April, and additional tickets might be distributed upon request, but are not guaranteed. The venue has a maximum capacity limit that must be adhered to by law.
